Mrs. Elizabeth Ampy was born October 21, 1947 in Magnolia, Arkansas, the daughter of Clara Paschal and SA Gilbert. She moved to Muskegon, MI in 1965 where she met and married John Ampy Jr. Together they learned the truth and she dedicated her life to Jehovah in 1968. Elizabeth faithfully served Jehovah all the days of her life. She had a heart of gold, her happiness came from making others happy. Elizabeth never found fault in anyone. She touched the lives of everyone she encountered in a special way. Elizabeth admonished everyone, but especially her children and grandchildren to always serve Jehovah. She always strived to be Christ like. Elizabeth fought the fine fight of faith and she won. Being the oldest daughter out of 15 children she shared a special closeness with her mother and a unbreakable bond with all her siblings. Elizabeth also had a fondness for music including the kingdom melodies which she sang often. She loved to get together with her siblings and listen to music, sing and cook. No one could make better homemade cakes and pies.
